Medical Deferrals Sample Clauses
Medical Deferrals. When a member is scheduled for testing and believes there are medical reasons to defer the testing, the member shall notify his or her supervisor and submit documentation from his or her personal physician to the City. The documentation shall cite the reason for deferral, those phases of the testing which the member is physically or medically unable to perform, and the estimated time for recovery. Should the physician conducting the annual physical examination determine that the member is unable to participate in the testing, such determination shall be considered a medical deferral. Medical deferrals over ninety (90) days will require an evaluation by a physician selected by and paid for by the City, with a report of the evaluation being forwarded to the City. A member who has received a medical deferral shall not be subject to being disciplined or penalized by the City in any way, but may be required to accept a temporary change in assignment if indicated because of the medical deferral. However, feigning illness to avoid testing will result in disciplinary action.
Medical Deferrals. When an employee is scheduled for an HPE or PFT and believes there are medical reasons (other than short-term illness) to defer such examination and testing, the employee shall notify the Division and submit documentation from his/her personal physician(s) to the physician designated by the City to conduct the HPE for review and approval. If the medical condition continues, this documentation must be re-submitted for approval each ninety (90) days thereafter until the employee’s physician clears the employee to perform their regular duties. Employees may receive a deferral only in those phases of the program which they are medically incapable of performing, as verified by the City's Physician. Decisions concerning deferrals will take into consideration input (if any) from the employee's personal physician(s). Once a deferral is granted, an examination in the area(s) or phases approved for deferral will not be scheduled until the medical condition is remedied and approval to participate is given by the City's Physician.
